Day to day actions

In addition to being eco-friendly, we are also committed to social responsibility. We partner with charities that focus on environmental causes, such as planting a tree for every product sold. We also support local businesses and artisans whenever possible. We believe in the importance of investing in quality, choosing long-lasting instead of single-use.

Reducing paper consumption

At Element Air, we understand that paper production is a leading cause of deforestation. To help do our part in saving trees, we’ve reduced our paper consumption by 85%. We achieved this by switching to a cloud-based job system for tracking and managing projects. This allows us to share documents and files electronically, eliminating the need for printed copies.

How we work

“Wow this company is awesome, I’d highly recommend them. We live in Auckland and have a holiday home in Turangi. James was so helpful and organised and installed a heat pump for us in under a week. I asked if it could be done (feeling very cheeky) prior to family going down at the weekend and he did it. So amazing to find people like this. He even went down to our house from Taupo on the Sunday to have a look at what was needed. We recently renovated our home in Auckland which has been nothing short of an absolute nightmare with trades people. James is an absolute gentleman. Thank you so much, we really appreciate how quickly you did this for us and how easy its been to communicate with you.”

“I recently had James install a heat pump in my small rental property. He has a wealth of knowledge about heat pumps, giving me a range of options and prices to choose from and also giving a recommendation as to what would work best in my property. James completed the job to a high standard and followed up the job with photos which I think is great, especially if you own a property and live out of town so can’t see the job in its completion straight away. I would highly recommend his work. Thanks again James!”

Frequently asked questions

How environmentally safe are heat pumps?

Heat pumps, being very energy efficient both keep your power bill low and their tax on the power grid and therefore the environmental impact low as well

Are heat pumps bad for the environment?

A heat pump is a device that moves heat from one place to another. It can be used to heat or cool a space, as well as to heat water. Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular because they are more energy-efficient than other heating and cooling methods. In fact, heat pumps use only about a third as much electricity as baseboard electric heaters and considerably less energy than gas or oil furnaces. Additionally, heat pumps do not produce any emissions, so they are better for the environment than other heating and cooling methods. If you are looking for a way to save energy and be more environmentally-friendly, a heat pump is a great option.

Is a heat pump considered green energy?

The increased focus on environmental sustainability in recent years has led to a renewed interest in heat pump technology. Heat pumps are a type of mechanical device that transfers heat from one environment to another, and they can be used for both heating and cooling purposes. Unlike traditional gas heating systems, heat pumps do not generate emissions, making them a considerably greener option. In addition, heat pumps are much more efficient than window air conditioners, able to provide the same level of heating or cooling while using less energy. However, heat pumps may be more expensive to operate than gas heaters, due to the higher initial cost of purchase and installation. Nevertheless, the environmental benefits of heat pump technology make it an increasingly popular choice for those looking to reduce their impact on the environment.
